Hoping for more Honeycut

Fans clamoring for more of Tyler Honeycutt on Thursday night were missing a key bit of information: Howland told the media on Friday that Honeycutt was sick and was limited in his minutes; he played just 11 against Arizona State, after 27 minutes against Delaware State on Dec. 27.

He made his presence known in the zone defense, though, and had a beautiful assist to a cutting Reeves Nelson for an easy bucket during the Bruins' run.

"He had a little bit of a flu yesterday, and he still has a little bit of that today," Howland said. "He missed the entire summer and a few weeks of practice, (but) he's doing a good job."
